New sub advice

[l34052]

Im new to the forum so firstly id like to say hi
Now, im lookin at buyin a new sub to replace the Gale 3070 im currently using, im lookin at spending £300 tops at the moment what with funds bein a bit tight. Ive seen a Tannoy Saturn Sub 15 which i like the look of but im not all that clued up bout them to be honest, would this be a good deal for £225? If anyone can recommend somethin else id love to hear, ideally i want somethin with abit more slam than my gale, prob alot to ask for the money but u neva know
Thanks in advance guys and gals

Jay

You can get more for your money if you look at second hand items. I have a Velodyne CHT 10 inf you are interested.

I can recommend the BK XLS200, 10" sub 275W amp, very good reputation on this forum...PJ

Thanks guys, i did actually look at the BK sub on their site, is there any advantage/dsiadvantage of the downward firing sub over the conventional sideways model?

I think that this has been covered quite extensively and conventional wisdom is that there is little if any difference and you will be happy with either.
